So the snowy winter weather we are accustomed to
here in New England is here. Looks pretty nice from inside a warm
bookstore.

We closed early yesterday due to the blizzard, and rescheduled that evening's in-store event with
Lisa Wade and Jaclyn Friedman to
Sunday, February 12th at 6pm. Please join us then for a discussion of
American Hookup: The New Culture of Sex on Campus.

As we were unable to reschedule our event
with internationally bestselling crime novelist Ian Rankin (due to his
rigorous book tour schedule, he was just in town for the day),
the event proceeded as planned at the Brattle Theatre,
blizzard-be-darned.

A crowd of intrepid fans came out, and we
experimented with our first-ever Facebook Live broadcast so that folks
at home could still hear Mr. Rankin speak.
Watch the video here.
Mr. Rankin signed an ample number of extra books for those who couldn't
attend, so get your crime-writing fix from this master of the form and
order a signed copy of Rather Be the Devil here, while our stock lasts.

#BowlingGreenMassacre

Our
savvy staff is known for being clever, politically engaged, and
well-read, and over the last few days it seems every corner of the
internet has noticed (with a viral instagram; articles on boston.com, the Huffington Post, and Boston Magazine; and a loving tweet
from author and musician John Darnielle). A new display behind our
information desk, compiled by some of the booksellers on staff, featured
books that explore the dissemination of disinformation. It caught the
eye of our customers immediately.

Take a closer look at some of these selected titles "remembering" the #BowlingGreenMassacre (and exploring ideas of disinformation and deception) here.

We appreciate the feedback we get from readers of this newsletter. Please send any comments to Alex at
newsletter@harvard.com.

Thanks for reading,
